    I don't remember the name of the dish I got - but it was meat (I chose BBQ brisket), potatoes, and an egg on top.

The happy hour prices were reasonable and had so many great options. Can't say for certain about the parking situation because it was a close walk from our hotel. We ordered 2 mocktails, the watermelon sugar and basil berry fizz. Both drinks were super sugary and tart, which I ended up diluting with water. Still refreshing and tasty, but I think it was a bit overkill on sugar. For our mains, we tried the rigatoni bolognese, trio of fries, and chicken tenders. All food and drinks for under $50! The portions were massive, especially the trio of fries, which I was not expecting. The sweet potato fries were a bit soggy compared to the other 2, which were significantly crispier. The chicken tenders were ok and probably the least exciting thing we ordered haha. On the other hand, the bolognese was by far the standout! Flavorful, rich, creamy and the cheese pull from the pasta was to die for. Our server was super cool and patient with us, as it was our first time coming here. Totally recommend checking this place out with a group of friends to enjoy happy hour.

You go up to the counter to tell the waitress that you're there and then she told us to take any seat and brought us menus later. The the place is small and the only I don't know a few tables on one side but there's another long row of tables to the right of the counter. There's a secret menu with the QR code to get other items to order. I start out with a hot chocolate with no whip cream and they used a frother so that was nice. So after looking over the menu we finally ordered my wife got the waffles and then she added soft scrambled eggs and hash browns. The waffle came out cold or not cold actually warm the eggs were overcooked and definitely the hash browns were burned. I ordered the kitchen sink with steak and I asked her to do it medium rare the kitchen sink was really good and the steak was cooked perfectly I really liked it. I also got an order of french toast but it came out and it wasn't warm it was only warm but the fruit was really fresh it had didn't lacked flavor We were very disappointed since we saw this on the internet and thought it was going to be really good. The couple behind us had chickens and waffle and their waffle wasn't cooked thoroughly and the chicken was raw and she thought it was frozen so they returned their food I didn't bother returning any of our items I later heard from the waitress that the restaurant was closing. I asked her what was going on and she said that they just got informed Friday that the restaurant was closing Sunday which was tomorrow for good the rent was raised $3,000 more a month and the chef couldn't owner couldn't afford that and told him on Friday that they're closing Sunday so pretty disappointing it could have been or was I supposedly a good place but now because of the price they're not going to

The lighting and aesthetic definitely give "IG-friendly." I ordered the fried rice and... wow. It tasted just like my mom's fried rice back at home -- literally had a Ratatouille moment where the food takes you back to childhood. The only weird part is the location. It's kind of in an awkward spot, and the bathroom is on the other side of the building, which is annoying when you're with a big group. Service was okay -- nothing bad, just not super attentive. Overall, I'd come back for the photo ops and that nostalgic fried rice.

Selland's has indoor and outdoor seating available, and our group found our way to the large circular bar inside. Fortunately, we arrived at the start of happy hour and Selland's menu delivers on value. We ordered a round of spritzes ($5 each) and shared a couple pizzas ($15 each with a limit of one per guest). We took our food and drinks outside on a scorching hot day, and Selland's had outdoor misters to keep us cool and the celebration going. The blackberry and basil spritz was refreshing, and I loved how light the wood-fire margarita pizza was. Our bartender took good care of us, and I'd recommend Selland's for groups of any size. Happy hour is available on weekdays only, so be sure to take advantage of it!

You can pick an entree and two sides. I got turkey meatballs, rice pilaf, and quinoa kale. Pretty good, especially the meatballs, although food was slightly drier than I'd usually prefer. The only thing is since there are no dedicated waiters, if you wanna hang around longer, you'll have to wait do the cleaners to clear the plates off your table.

The Wagyu…read moreRibeye was outstanding, and our server, Matthew, provided excellent service throughout the evening. Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed the meal. During dinner, the Operations Manager, Michael, stopped by our table to introduce himself and let us know he was available if we needed anything. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the evening, which was appreciated. However, the experience ended on a disappointing note. As we were leaving, we asked about having our parking validated and were told that nothing could be done because they had no validation tickets available. While the food and service were excellent, after spending approximately $2,500 on dinner, we expected that an Operations Manager would have the authority or flexibility to offer some alternative solution. And the way he spoke to his staff was not very nice. Unfortunately, that final interaction overshadowed an otherwise enjoyable evening and left our group feeling that this would likely be a one-time visit.

The hostess was very sweet and sat us at our table right away. Our server was amazing and very attentive. We didn't feel rushed at all and gave us enough time to eat our appetizers and meals. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered for an appetizer the house made focaccia bread and was hot, well seasoned and so fresh. I felt as if it just came out of the oven. The French onion soup was excellent, flavor was on point and soup was hot. The boneless beef braised short rib entree was incredible. I literally licked my plate clean. We did order the bread pudding Togo to eat later since we were so full but didn't care much for it which is a bummer. It was a little dry to me and lacked flavor. I do look forward to coming back! if you haven't tried you must!

I have to admit, I'm lucky enough to be familiar with the proprietor, Natalie. She pours live and maximum effort into everything she does, and it shows. I try different meals each time I go, just to widen my palate. (But my fav is the Cottage pie!) from the entries, to the shareables, sandwiches, pizza and appetizers to the deserts it's all made fresh. I found out only today, there isn't a single microwave on the premises. It's hot, because it was just cooked, from ingredients, for you. The Grotto has special event nights for the whole family, special food themes vary, live music, trivia nights.... Something for everyone. The interior is uncluttered, but tasteful, and the employees are a great group of people hand picked to do their best. And it shows. Stop by, become familiar, see what I'm talking about. Oh? And the food? Absolutely awesome.

They were decent, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next were the mains. Oxtail over rice, Fried fish, and fried chicken. Everything great, but the oxtail was easily my favorite & probably the best oxtail dish i've had from a soul food restaurant. Tender and delicious. On to the sides. Mac & cheese, yams, potato salad, country gravy over rice. Again, all great, but the mac & cheese stole the show.
